Make the Farm Home Pleasant

Yes; make it so pleasant that tht
growing boys and girls will not bt
looking forward to the time wher
they Will be old enough to leave the
farm in search of a pleasanter place
We know a well-to-do farmer, having
eight children, who as soon as they
are old enough to support themselves,
leave their home. OF the five boys
not one remains on the farm. They
have gone to clerkships and other pc
sitions, In preference to staying on
the much despised farm.
A glance in the home
may account somewhat for this.
There has never been any effort to
make 1t attractive for the children.
The parents aim has been to work
and save, with scarcely a thought
that their children had any other
needs than food and clothing. They
are active, bright minded boys and
girls. 1t is no wonder that the dull
ness and monotony Ie"omes un-
durable. This farmer does not hest
tate to spend money in farm improve
ments, in fine stock, or in anything
that will advanve his financial inter-
est; but any outlay for the children's
pleasure is regarded as unnecessary,
and extravaganza.
Children cannot feel that sense OF
proprietorship i'll the farm and its
profits that is stimulant to the heads
Of the household, and something is
needed to take its place. Some per-
sonal property, even chicken or
pig, is a strong incentive. Children
are sportive by nature-all young
animals are-and some diversion is
essential for leisure hours; otherwise
their minds will wander off and dwell
on the attractions supposed to pertain
to village and city life.
A few dollars each year invested in
reading matter will not only supply
pleasant employment for leisure
hours, but the means Of mental inn
provement as we'll. There are so
many excellent, entertaining publica-
tons for the young, and 1T such low
prices, that no family in which there
are children should be without one or
more. But parents should discrimi-
nate carefully between q good and a
bad class of reading matter, for there
is large amount of tiashy, sensa.
tional character wholly unfit tor the
young to read.
There is no reason why q country
home should not be place of.pleasure
and contentment to every member.
There is a freshness and freedom in
farm life that cannot be enjoyed when
person is surrounded 10y brick walls.
With pleasant mental recreation for
leisure hours there need he no UNI
happy memories of the farm to carry
through life.-American AgricuI-
turist for July.

Made Farming Paw

We know farmer who came to
Polk county eight years ago and
filed on homestead. When he had
paid the land office fees and purchased
little hardware and lumber with
which to build him shanty, he had
but one dollar and thirty-five cents
in cash, yoke of oxen, little icheap
furniture, and about one hundred
dollars worth of tools and farm mach
inery to begin farming operations
with. But besides this he had fair
share of intelligence, a good stock of
energy, and, as he himself expressed
1t, mot lazy bone in my body"
With this stock in trade he went to
work and to-day he has one of the
finest farms in the whole country,
splendid buildings upon it, and
nice lot of stock. The secret of his
success was, hard work, rigid econ
omy and firm enthusiastically adj
hered to-not to run In debt and pay
ruinous interest on borrowed capital.
There is a lesson In this farmers ex-
perience which could be learned with
profit by some of his neighbors.-

RESOLUTIONS.
Morris, Mimi. June "a, 1887

WHEREAS. Grover Cleveland,
pro-tempare president of the United
States, did recently attempt to restore
to the whipped rebels the flags when
represented their treason, and when
were captured from them by the
hands which choked rebellion to death
and was only prevented from doing
so by q law which was cited to him
by his insulted and indignant country
men.
THEREFORE,, Be it resolved, That
we the members of Overton Post No.
80 G. A. r. Department of Mimi, III
regular meeting assembled do declare:
First, that we characterize the attempt
as disloyal and the act of a paltroon
and his ATT of resembling the order as
no palliation of the Otfense, and his
reason therefore untrue, and had 1t
been true as evidence of too much
ignorance to be comparative with
the position he holds. Second that
this action on the part of Grover
Cleveland confirms the belief we al
ready had that he is an enemy OF the
Union Soldiers, and Third, that as
loyal men of this republic, we Will
quietly endure the wrongs heaped
upon us by this administration ana
will use our best endeavors to elect
man for our next president who will
be the soldiers friend.
RESOLVED, That these resolutions
be spread upon our minutes and q
copy thereof furnished to each of the
papers in Stevens Co. for publication.

That the state did a wise thing in
making an appropriation for the pur-
pose of providing for
| q series of Farmers In
stitutes was clearly demonstrated by
the work of the Institute
held in Morris last Tuesday
and Wednesday. The lectures were
pithy and practical and gave to all
listeners much of useful information.
The most improved methods for farm
ing and stock feeding and raising
were enlarged upon. Every farmer
who attended feels more than amply
paid for his time and trouble and has
carried away new ideas which VIII
make his own farming operations
more profitable. Should another III
stitute be held here it will be very
largely attended.
We can not give as many partlcu-
lars regarding the proposed flax mill
as we expected to do, but can doubtless
say something definite next week.
Farmers and business men are taking
an interest in the matter and 1t Is
hoped that the mill will be established
The first thing that it is desired to
know is the amount of flax growing
in the county this year and the
amount of straw that can be secured
this Fall should the mill be built i'm
mediately. 1t is also necessary 10
know the amount of flax that farmers
Will guarantee to raise next year,
should mill be established. Those
who can give any part of this de-
sired information are requested to
call on the TRIBUNE or johnson q

Henry Ward Beeeher and Presi-

and swap yarns. The last time Mr.

ears: An aged dominic way b.. ok il

his congregation every Sunday and
note who was absent. Then Mon.
day he would call on the delinquenis 8
and find out why they were away.

Cooney, aud true to custom called
on him the following morning.
brother Cooney, You were not at
church yesterday" "Weut lishin',"
said the old man, going right on with
his hoeing' why did you stay
away'" "Preachin too long" Broth
er, there will be no preaching iu
hell" "Twont be fer want o par.
sons" And the dominic gave up
calling on delinquents.
